Let users search through Bookmarks #4466

Open noantiq opened 4 months ago

Pitch

Give users the ability to search through or filter their bookmarks.

Motivation

See #4465 This would make specific bookmarks easier to find like the feature described in the issue above, but both are their own feature and could complement each other.

We can't do this without support by a server api. To do local search, Tusky would need to load all bookmarks from the server first, which could be thousands and would take a long time. And bookmarks can be changed with other apps so it has to be done on every search.

It is not exactly what you are looking for, but you can add in:library to your search and it will return only posts that you interacted with before, see https://lucahammer.com/2024/04/25/mastodon-advanced-search-guide-and-operators

That makes sense. Thank you for the advice! Regarding the API, I found an open suggestion for Mastodon: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/27155
